amsterdam (and yarmouth) just got even better...

i got a pair of ice skates for christmas. thanks o! i love love love ice skating...which is probably because i spent hours and hours at the frozen pond across the street from my house as a kid. i am so excited to go to the rink in yarmouth with my new skates. no big fancy moves...just gliding along. i have big hopes of finding a huge snow-free lake or winding river this winter and skating for miles. this brings me to my next thought...it simply never occurred to me that the canals in amsterdam would freeze. i could spend hours zipping along under bridges and past houseboats.
